I don't mind people collecting cans but I do mind having them rummage through my bin on recycling days. He drives up & down the street going through every bin. I hope I'm not being petty...My husband went out one time & told him to stay out of our bin & the guy just gave him a dirty look & drove off after he was done. Anyone else have a problem with this?

He didn`t go through my bin, so you are wrong in saying he is ransacking thru EVERYONES recycling bin....You aren`t allowed to put cans in the recycling bins...sooo......Stop doing it........you are the cause of the problem, so because of this, to answer your question....Yes you are being petty.....

Have you even seen the guy? When I saw the guy, he did go to every bin on my street. I'm sure that is what the OP meant when they said "everybody's" bins.

Read the thread again. It was said that he was creepy. His behaviour and manner is creepy. I am not ashamed that I am bothered by someone who drives like an idiot, and does things which clearly many people are not comfortable with. He appears to be aware that what he is doing is illegal, yet he seems to feel that he is entitled to do it. The rationale that he could be doing something which is more illegal....

Yes, people are allowed to express an opinion, just like I did...Why the hypocritical response....Truth hurt???

Why are you getting your back up? Calling people ignorant isn't any different than saying someone is creepy. I'm not a hypocrite btw - I wouldn't like someone rummaging around but doesn't mean I don't support the down and out a different way. Once bitten, twice shy.
